Pupils at St Paul Junior School, Luyanzi, Uganda were lucky enough to study river erosion closely by visiting the Kalagala Falls on the River Nile. Here there are spectacular waterfalls and rapids in the river. The following photo shows the river being constrained by resistant rocks on either side.

This is such an interesting blog. I hope more photos will be shown of pupils doing fieldwork in this subject. 'Rock, rattle and roll'- who came up with that great statement? it is a perfect description of some rocks being more resistant to erosion than others!
